Hi, I admit that I'm being kinda cheap, but went to look up and find a price on the bakers air wings uppers and lowers and didnt like what I saw, I'm kinda broke, but still, my lightbar was cheaper than that, and I think I am gonna try and build my own  uglystupid2

So to help me on this most fool-hardy attempt to save a few hundred dollars, could anyone post some dimensions for me for the uppers and lowers, specifically, how tall they come up from the engine, how close they fit to the inside of the bike, and how far they stick out from the inside of the bike.

thanks for the help, and I will understand if I get ribbed a bit for this, dont worry, I know I deserve it  crazy2

Parts - everything came from Ace or Home Depot

1 - sheet 1' by 2' Lexan
2 - pipe clamps with electrical ground connection 1/4x20
2 - 6" 1/4x20 carriage screws
2 - 1/4x20 nuts
8" - of 1" bicycle inner tube
4 - electrical lugs that will slide over the 6" carriage screw
4 - acorn nuts for the screws on the electrical lugs
4 - 1/2" long counter sink screws
4 - nuts to match 1/2" long counter sink screws
4 - washers for counter sink screws
4 - acorn nuts for counter sink screws

Cut the lexan into 2 6.5" x 10.25" rectangles.
On one corner of each rectangle remove 2.5" wide(from 6.5") by 3.25" long(from 10.25") section,
curve the section with a nice gradual inside curve.
Round the other corners for a pleasing outline.
Sand and polish the edges to remove any cut marks.
Drill 2 holes in each to clear the counter sink screws, these holes are centered 3.25"
from the inside and 1.5" and 5" from the bottom edge, centered on these holes
at the bottom cut a 1" by 1.5" clearance for the ground connection towers.
Counter sink the electrical lug holes to match the counter sink screws.
Remove the heads and round the ends on the 2 6" carriage screws.
Cut the inner tube into 2 4" lengths.
Polish and clean up the sides and edges of the pipe clamps.
Grind the teeth from the inside of the pipe clamp and profile the
inside of the pipe clamp to fit the upper crash bar closely.
It will be necessary to remove and re-profile some of the outside shoulders of the
pipe clamps to clear the cam belt covers.

Assemble the parts , and add acorn nuts to cover exposed threads.
Mount and check for clearances - on the windshield and turn signals.
